<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1974304, member: 19463"]When I see a thin, oversize flan, I consider the possibility of a flan made by hammering flat an earlier coin. I can't prove it but the coin is a full gram too heavy according to RIC (5.85g). RIC weights are averages of what they had available to weigh so their number may not be terribly significant. There are coins of Magnentius from the mint struck not long before this so the possibility of recycling politically incorrect stock is real. I repeat: I can't prove it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
